distillation
a safe chemical free water cleaning process
distilling process
The dirty water is boiled, this kills most of the contaminants, gasses are released as well as anything with a lower boiling point then water. The chemicals are then sent through a different path then water. Opposite to the contaminants with a lower boiling point contaminants with a higher boiling point stay behind as the water evaporates. The clean distilled water is then cooled until fully liquid. You can repeat this process with the distilled water multiple times in order to achieve better results.
